Barenaked Ladies/Rare BNL video?

Question
Hi! I've been looking for the name of a music video BNL did a while ago that aired (in the States and possibly Canada) on TV as a public service announcement against racism. It featured a bunch of “aliens” with different colored skin. There's one or two frames of it on one of the TV sets in the Enid music video, but that's the only trace I've seen of it since the one time I saw it on TV, which introduced me to the band in the first place.
I really appreciate any help you can give me finding it. Thanks!
Hello, the video you're referring is more than likely for "The Ballad of Gordon," which was the song they wrote for that same PSA. Ed is dressed up in a similar manner in the liner notes for Gordon. I'm sure there are some copies of the video (or at least the song) stashed somewhere on the Internet; good luck!

I`m a really big fan of BNL, not to mention an enthusiastic one. I`m always searching for and gaining new knowledge and nifty factoids about this superbly magnificent band. Feel free to ask anything about them. If I don`t know the answer right away, I`ll search for it like mad, and if I still can`t find it, I`ll try to send you in the right direction of finding it.
Experience
Admittedly, I've only been a fan for a relatively short while, since early 1999, but I own all the studio albums, the Shoe Box EP, Rock Spectacle, their Greatest Hits, and several of their singles. I am also constantly keeping an eye out for news and info about the band.
